Virtual Art Show of the Month Piermont Marsh Watercolors by Robert Adzema January 3rd - 31st For the month of January, the Piermont Library presents Piermont Marsh Watercolors by Robert Adzema. You can view the show here https://www.piermontlibrary.org/artist-of-the-month/ From the artist...... Please join me for this virtual viewing of a collection of my watercolor paintings of our beautiful Piermont Marsh.
All these watercolors were painted on location in all types of weather, times of day and seasons of the year.
I paint in watercolors because it is a lightweight and easily transportable medium. Using colors, water and paper, it is a fluid medium for painting which rewards working quickly particularly when trying to capture changing and dramatic light effects or weather conditions.
All the paintings are for sale with a portion of any sales going to benefit the Piermont Library.
